THE ION IN CREATION

The author of "This is your Kung-fu" speaks about creativity through a module called THE ION IN CREATION.

IT IS ALL ABOUT OPTIONS

It is incumbent upon us to deliberately ensure that in the things we do, we must always have options. We must never paint ourselves into a corner. The secret is really not about having to create options but rather, it is about realizing that in many situations in life, we do have options more than what we think. In many instances, we think that we are forced to move or act in a certain way, and we resent it because we are acting not on our own volition; we are somebody else’s puppet. - from This Is Your Kung-Fu: 17 DMNH, Chapter 3

EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER 17

My final advice is to practice non-imposition of will. If we want to grow old gracefully, we have to accept that in this life, not all things will come our way. It is a complex world indeed, and it has a way of giving us some and taking some from us as well. And I would rather that we do not fight it, for it will be a lost cause to do so. We can try to drive life and steer it in certain directions with the skills set we have accumulated and the resources we have gathered at our disposal. But beyond a certain extent, life drives itself. One day it will take us to the top of a twenty storey tall pole, and will ask us, “What is your next step now?” At this point do we fight it, or do we just take the next step into nothingness? - from This is Your Kungfu: 17DMNH, Chapter 17

EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER 6

And this is what I run in my mind as my way of meditation: I imagine myself alone in the world, and I am sitting cross-legged in a vast empty place, like in the middle of the desert at night. Everything is dark. And then I imagine that the world shrinks little by little; very, very slowly it grows smaller and smaller until it becomes the size of a house. Then, it starts to shrink some more from under me, until it totally becomes the size of a tennis ball. By this time, the feeling would be as if I am suspended in a vacuum in the middle of nowhere... - from This is Your Kungfu: 17DMNH, Chapter 6

EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER 4

The most important thing you can do to keep your anger in control is to immediately tell yourself that you are angry as soon as you realize it. Recognizing anger grabs it by the short hair and makes it controllable. I believe that anger only exists while we still do not know we are angry. The moment we give it a name, it ceases to be. What takes over is a heightened feeling of discomfort, but without the unwieldy nature of anger. -from This is Your Kungfu: 17DMNH, Chapter 4
